The Lincoln lawyer is at it again, & he never disappoints.

Disappointed in the wrap-up.

The story was (typically) good, but I didn't like the dual first- and third-person narratives. It was kind of awkward going back and forth between the two.

The "silent witness" maneuver was genius, however.

Mickey Haller is called in to the DA's office to take a case as an independent and prosecute a man who was released from prison due to a new DNA test, after being charged with killing as young girl. Mickey accepts, but on the promise of independence and the ability to bring in his ex-wife to help with the legal side and his half brother to help with the investigation. Haller's half brother is Harry Bosch, gritty LA homicide detective.

Bosch has to examine the case from 20-some years ago and determine if anything was missed and what was just noise. He has to track down all the people that should testify even though some have passed away. The defendant is released without bail and Bosch ensures to follow him 24/7, seeing some abnormal behaviour. Is it possible that he killed before?

With so many Bosch books in this series, you would think that things would start to get stale. The book before this, Nine Dragons was a bit off the path but this took us right back to it. I really enjoyed this and think it would make a great addition to the Amazon series Bosch; I'd love to see this played out on screen.

Quick read, much like a Grisham novel. Fun for people who like to read about litigation; attorneys; crime, etc.

I absolutely adore Michael Connelly and it's great when half-brothers Harry Bosch and Mickey Haller are both leading the story. He is far and away my favorite mystery writer.

At first I loved that Connelly was bringing together his two main characters - Bosch and Haller - in this book, but as it went on I felt I wasn't getting enough of either of them! Great storyline, but I admit I was a little unsatisfied at the end. Still, a page-turning read!

Another great legal thriller by Mr. Connelly.

An aspect of this offering that I particularly liked was the fact that the story was told from the viewpoints of both Haller and Bosch.

While at first this was confusing, I soon was able to follow along easily as the case unfolded from two different perspectives.

My least favorite of the three Haller books I've read. It was a quick read, but I wasn't really a fan of the way the perspective switched between Haller and Bosch. Plus, I didn't really enjoy the ending...it seemed unfinished. Perhaps it picks up in a Bosch book? Hopefully the fourth in the series picks back up.
